The concept of metaliteracy is new to me. My understanding of this innovative style of teaching and learning is that it is a developing model which is making a transition from the theory phase to the actual practice phase. It involves the discovery of fairly new and growing technologies used in the process of crafting and sharing information in an open and healthy participatory online forum. This is my first time taking an online course and it is good to know I will have a chance to interact with participants from all over. I like the fact that I get to share what I learn in my blog simply because I just started a sports website with my best friend so I believe through this course there is so much I can learn about blogging to help make my column better. I commend Professor Trudi Jacobson and Professor Tom Mackey for all their time and effort in developing the metaliteracy model. I believe it will go a long way to enhance teaching and learning in a very creative way.
Hi Keith, As you went about starting your sports website and got experience blogging, how did you decide what kind of information to include for your audience? Just curious as to what you enjoy posting and perhaps where you find it. Did you and your best friend decide together what to share or did it evolve over time?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the questions Patto1an! My best friend and I decided together what our focus should be and everything actually evolved over time. We are both sports enthusiasts so carrying out our plan has been somewhat effortless. In terms of the information we put out for our audience, we take cues from credible sports websites and see which styles of writing suit our project best. Over time it is possible we might expand to other areas. I hope you find this helpful.
